In the sky blooms 2nd Sun. A moment of pause and break out the trees begin to melt asphalt. A few seconds later the shock wave sweeps away everything in its path and carries away the hundreds of tons of dust and debris that become homes. Above the town blooming giant tree of nuclear mushroom. The light fades. There comes a doomsday…
A terrible picture, is not it? Its not been seen in science fiction films-made disasters. However, few people thought about the fact that the worst in a nuclear war is not in the explosions (although, of course, part of the victims will be a tribute to them exactly). Read the rest of this entry »

The research group of scientists from 12 countries published today in the journal Science. The debate about what caused the mass death of flora and fauna 65 million years ago, lasted for decades. The most common version has always been a collision of Earth with a giant asteroid, cause irreversible impacts on land and in the ocean, which led to the extinction of animals and plants. However, in parallel with this theory, put forth the scientific community and others. In particular, according to some experts, the cause of extinction of prehistoric reptiles could become intensified volcanic activity of the planet that is literally poisoned the Earth’s atmosphere with poisonous gases. Another theory states that animals and plants that inhabited the planet at the time, could not adapt to the changing climate.Read the rest of this entry »

Physicists working on the Large Hadron Collider, unable to register the first beautiful particle – meson B +.

This is reported in a press release on the site of the experiment LHC.

B + gets its name from the fact that consists of the u-quark and b-quark, or antiquark beautiful. To register one such particle, which was born as a result of the collision of high energy protons in the accelerator, scientists had to analyze about 10 million such collisions.Read the rest of this entry »

Vulcan minute throws in the upper (now and in the bottom) layers of the atmosphere thousands of tons of ash. Further, this ash, according to the season (so far) winds gradually spread to the upper layers. And even if we do not see the finely divided ash hanging over us, it does not mean that it is not there. And to dangle in the air, it will be several more years, gradually settling down and dispersed by wind.
The overall decline in temperature in the northern hemisphere can be quite small – if only to consider solar radiation.Read the rest of this entry »

Paleontologists have discovered in Texas, a previously unknown species of dinosaurs. The article appeared in the scientific journal Cretaceous Research, and its summary is provided in a press release from Yale University.

New species found 80-90 million years ago, was named Texacephale langstoni. The size of T. langstoni not exceeds modern dogs and ate plant foods. In total, scientists have found fragments of two skulls.

Researchers believe that T. langstoni belongs to the family pahitsefalozavrov. These lizards differed thick cranial vault – the males of these dinosaurs faced head during breeding season.Read the rest of this entry »

Considered to be completely extinct ancient form of life on earth – capable of breathing nitrogen microbes – found an international scientific expedition, ITAR-TASS. A series of huge fields of these microbes is at great depth in the Pacific Ocean to the west of Latin America.

Prior to these living organisms, are under great pressure of the water mass, does not reach the sunlight. They feed located in the ocean water sulfides and breathe nitrogen, say scientists.

According to a Chilean expedition leader Professor Victor Galardo, “meant those forms of living organisms that lived on Earth about 3 million years ago and has survived to this day.” Colonies of microorganisms are similar to those ecosystems that have existed on Earth in a period of 2.5 billion to 650 million years ago.Read the rest of this entry »

Using as a model of multicellular green alga Volvox carteri, and its unicellular relative, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, researchers from the Salk Institute (Salk Institute for Biological Studies) investigated the secrets of the emergence of differences between male and female organisms.

The current work provides the first empirical support for the model, suggesting that bisexual organisms emerged through a process of encroachment genes. The latter took over responsibility for the production of male and female cells (gametes).Read the rest of this entry »
